Great typo in 419 scam email!
This one was supposedly from a bank who had a millionaire client who died "interstate" and now the scammer is willing to split the money with me.

People who die without wills die "intestate."

Not sure what it means to die "interstate." Maybe you drop dead on the state line and your arms land in North Carolina while your legs land in South Carolina?

1. Damn That sounds like gypsy credit card scammers
One of the CLASSICS we got at Nordstrom I still remember after nearly 20 years-said they worked at 'Unitted arlines' as a 'stewdarss' banked at 'fist innastate' and made $5000 per month. And mind you, a second grader has better penmanship.

Maybe even better for the guy who died interstate-at the 4 corners monument?

2. I got one of those emails yesterday.
I'm eligible for some millionaire's money from Africa.

Yeah. Right. :eyes:

3. I get a big laugh out of those 419 Nigerian scam letters.
Some of the typos are hilarious. Remember, English is not their first language.
